Harvest Men

The Shepherd’s Institute is a pastoral training program undertaken by a collective of like-minded churches in the New Orleans area. Students join other trainees from partnering churches in cohorts for instruction and discussion with a variety of qualified instructors.

This  program will offer class credit at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary up to 21 hours. Each class requires approx. 1,000 pages of reading and 10-15 pages of writing. If there are men that do not want to receive class credit the workload can be modified.

The program will be 7 semesters spread out over the Fall, Spring and Summer.

Spring 2026: Spiritual Formation of the Pastor
Summer 2026: Evangelism & Disciple-making

mEN's Ministry

Being a man of faith isn't a solo mission. At Harvest, our Men’s Ministry is built on the foundation of authentic brotherhood and shared purpose. We believe that when men show up for each other, families are strengthened and our community is transformed. Whether it’s through our monthly breakfasts, small group huddles, or service projects, there’s a place for you here to grow, lead, and be encouraged.
